Pursuant to the provisions of Section 5 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12 U.S.C. 1815), an application for Federal deposit insurance with membership in the Bank Insurance Fund has been filed on behalf of TB.com Bank (the bank), a proposed new state nonmember bank to be located at 405 Silverside Road, Wilmington, New Castle County, Delaware.

The bank will be wholly owned by The Bancorp.com, Inc., Wilmington, Delaware, a one-bank holding company. The bank's business strategy involves delivering banking products and services electronically through the Internet, ATMs and toll free customer service lines. The bank will not maintain physical branches. The main office will house bank operations, a call center and executive offices. Customers will be primarily acquired by forming private label banking relationships with affinity groups such as universities, trade associations, and businesses. Products and services will be offered through customized trade name Web sites designed for each affinity group. A broad range of deposit products will be offered, as well as direct and indirect mortgage and consumer loans. Customers will make deposits/withdrawals and draw on credit lines through ATM's on the MAC and PLUS network, wire transfer and ACH item. The bank's target market includes New Castle County and the Mid-Atlantic region where it will offer mortgage and consumer loans.

Investment in fixed assets is reasonable, capital is strong, future earnings prospects and the ability to meet the convenience and needs of the community are favorable, and management is considered satisfactory. Corporate powers to be exercised are consistent with the purpose of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act. No formal objections to this proposal have been filed and no undue risk to the Bank Insurance Fund is apparent.

Accordingly, based upon a careful evaluation of all available facts and information, the Associate Director, pursuant to delegated authority, has concluded that approval of the application is warranted.
